Well, not on screenshots specifically, but if you are going to be 
printing, make sure its on heavy stock paper.  Sometimes, the ink bleeds 
through/smudges on the "normal" paper that's common in printing shops.

You could then cut the printed shot (in the heavy stock paper) and then 
attach it to a larger sheet and maybe highlight any features.

If its photos -- you could try printing it on the special glossy photo 
paper.

Sorry, probably not what you wanted.
